How it works

General

  1. You play as Shen Bruiser.
  2. Your build is survivability oriented. With some damage and tons of HP and defense.
  3. You auto attack a lot.

How to play

General

  1. As Shen playing Bruiser build - you need to adapt to an enemy team and to the game!
  2. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Adaptation

  1. 👊 If ahead, consider going for more damage items to snowball.
  2. 🏰 If behind, go tanky.
  3. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. E + Flash Combo: You can catch people off guard by using Shadow Dash (E) and then Flash (during animation, you get buff for a split second). Works in any direction!

Riot

  1. Keep an eye on allies and be ready to save them with your teleport.
  2. Leverage your Energy to get a long-term advantage over Mana users.
